Lagoon

.




I have decided that I really like Lagoon, especially now that our youngest is tall enough for the majority of the rides. I think what I like most is the

familiarity. When you move as many times as we have, it is nice to come back home to where things are familiar. Both Ray and I grew up going to Lagoon in the summertime. (The newer rides are pretty cool, too!) We had an awesome day with Karen and her children and Garron. Clara was sick and Scott was working. Anna and Abbie spent much of the time hanging with Kilee and her friend. The big boys liked to go on their own. That left Ray, Jonathan, Karen, Kade, and me. Ray and I weren't use to only having one child, usually we are determining who is sitting with who and trying to prevent conflict. Jonathan and Kade were the best of friends. It was a great day!

Our visit to the University of Utah

e
Thanks to Karen (Ray's sister-in-law), we were able to go on a tour of the UofU Football Teams's building and meet some of the coaches and football players. Karen was there with her children, Cousin Garron, Uncle Brian, Cousin Erick and girlfriend, Janel, were also able to come. Coach Sitake did a wonderful job of showing us the facilities, workout room, trophy room, meeting and prep rooms. The boys were in heaven! Coach Whittingham was gracious to meet, talk to us, and pose for pictures. Jonathan had a football signed by the coaches and players. Jonathan told Matt Asiata, one of their main running backs, that in posing for the picture you had to put your hands in the U shape as seen in the top picture. Robert Johnson, DB, posed with Jordan and Jacob. He stopped and talked to us and was very friendly. Lets just say it was the highlight of our trip!

Summer in the pool -- Yeah!

Our pool was completed just before the 4th of July, so when we returned from our camping trip we ventured into the pool and had a total blast! It has been great to entertain the kids. As for the dog, he has been thrown in a couple of times, and then quickly dog-paddled out of there.
